Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to manage problems extending from conventional afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
